Operation Self Reset Episode 88: Selling Like a Monk With Martin Stellar
In this episode, Jake is talking with Martin Stellar, a writer, marketer, and ex-monk who talks with us today about selling every day.
Martin started as an atheist who got into monkhood through visiting at a monastery. He started spending time there and slowly getting into the lifestyle. It was a slow process before he became a full on monk and took the vows, but it was a life that drew him in with its relaxing, calming atmosphere that drew him away from a life that wasn’t quite working out for him.
After twelve years as a monk, Martin left the monastery. Even though he’s no longer living as a monk, he continues to use parts of the lifestyle in his life today and in selling himself and his work. Meditation, discipline, and learning to smile even through the hard times can have a great benefit to your life, as Martin has learned and reminds us today. Want to be happy in your life? Don’t try to search for it. As Martin tells us, if we want to find happiness, we’ll be looking the other way when it comes by. Find happiness in life, not in things.
Listen in as Martin tells us how to be mindful of your attitude, the importance of smiling, and how to live our happiest lives.
Here’s what Jake and Martin talked about in this episode:
- Taking things in a light-hearted way
- Benefits of a morning ritual
- Make space for meditation and make a habit of it
- Happiness is a consequence
- Failure as a part of success
